LONDON, October 24.-Lord Harrington
delivered a speech at Nottingham this ieve-
ming. He described the Liberal Federation
as nothing but one man association with
out permanent national character, AS
proof of this he ssid that after the election

that the party was pledged to Home Rule

The members simply assembled TO hear
Mr.. GladStou declare in vague terms what
be chose that the associations policy
should be. The demands of the Unionists
met practically with fiat refusal. He
personally never believed tnat any modih-
cations would be granted. He declined to
examine the FederatioE's new political
programme, as it had no more practical
bearing upon the immediate future than
the resolves passed by the three Tooly

CHURCHILL TALKS TOO.
Lord Randolph Churchill spoke at
Stockton this evening. He said that the
Nationalist Leader had made tool of his
friend Blunt, who was an impulsive man,
and knew nothing whatever about Irish
affairs. He advised his hearers not to at
tach too much importance to such coils
ions, of which more might occur, the
ment Of Ireland impossible, and to alien

party. Looking at the determination and
promptitude with which the Government
was now acting, he believed that the
League and all the forces OF disorder 10
Ireland would be almost got under by the
time Parliament resumed work. Some
sentimental people were shocked by these
collisions with the police; but in America
the people were not so squea mish,

The Standard says Sir Wilfreid Blunt has
unintentionally done good service tor the
government by showing English fomenters
OF disturbances in Ireland that they are to
be treated exactly the same as native agi-
tators. Says the Standard:
We are bound to admit that but for his most
opportune challenge, he wonld have escaped
